These, if existent in a natural quantity,
and unvitiated by bile, play their part in
the functions Of digestion and assimila-
ton. But the artificial acid resulting
from the inability of the stomach to con-
vert food received by it into %sustcnancc, is
the producer of fatulence and heartburn,
which are the most harrassing symptoms
of dyspepsia. The best carminative is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Far more
effective is it than carbonate of soda, mag
nesia or other alkaline salts. The invari-
ably weaken the stomach without nrodu-

woman chronically dyspeptic, and conse-
q%uently nervous, can be in possession of
the full measure vigor allowed by nature.
Therefore. ~invigorate and regulate the
system, and by so doing protect it from
malaria, rheumatism and other serious
maladies.

Sioux CITY, April 1.-The tenth day
of the Haddock murder trial opened with
diminished attendance. The strain of ex-
citement is wearing on the audience as
well as lawyers and court attendants. The

witness named G. W. Smith, who swears
positively that Leavitt fred the shot that
killed Haddock. This was expected by
everybody as his story has been made
public for months. He lived at Columbia

A rare and amusing incident occurred on
Saturday last. The Messrs. Everhart own
a large farm on the road leading from New
port to New Bloomfield. Perry county, and
a short distance. from the latter place.
They keep a large number of cattle and on
the day In question the bovines were roam
ing about in one of the fields in which there
are number of high hills. and these latter
were covered with ice which rendered them
as slippery as glass. Along the top OF
one of these hills the cattle were NOV
ing along slowly when one of the
cows slipped and fell, but toboggan-like
never stopped until she landed at the bot
tom. Then another and another followed
suit until five or six had performed similar
feat. 1t remained for the last OF the COWS
to perform the browning feat. She sat
down on her hind legs and erect on her
fore feet and started down the incline All
went well until near the bottom Of the hill.
when her front feet caught in the ice caus-
ing her to perform an acrobatic feat which
would make gymnast turn green with
envy. The cattle seemed to enjoy the i'm

the base of the hill would gingerly get on

NEW 1OTh gun.
! Gen. Boulanger has recently given prizes
to thebest trainers of carrier pigeons in the
department of the Seine. Pigeon training
in France has become a branch Of the mill
tary service and plenty OF well trained birds
are to be found in the costly and beautiful
little establishment that has been built for
them. They are furnished with modern
improvements and luxuries that vulgar and
ignorant pigeons could never appreciate.
Among the pigeons now in the possession
of the government are several veterans of
the siege OF Paris, and one among them is a
genuine old hero. In 1870 this bird was
taken up in the Paris balloon called the
Niepce, and Was captured by the Prussians.
Prince frederick Charles sent him as a
present to his mother, the Princess Charles
of Prussia, who put. him among her own
collection of BIRDS. where be was treated
with all possible kindness. But he was a
patriot. The bitter bread of exile did not
agree with him. He flew away and reached
his homein pigeon house in the Boulevard
Ciichy. The owner rof the establishment
handed him over to the military authorities.
and he is now once more in the service of
his native country, and doubtless hopes to
win additional glory in the future.

Our DaiIy Rread.

Heavy and sour bread and biscuit has a
vast influence through the digestive organs
upon the measure of health we enjoy.
How important to our present happiness
and future usefulness the blessing of good
health and sound constitution are, we can
only realize when we have lost them, and
when it is too late to repair them. Not
withstanding these facts thousands of per-
sons daily jeOpardize not only their health,
but their lives, and the heaths and lives of
others, bycnsing articles in the preparation

Which they know nothing. Perhaps few
cents may have been saved, or it may have
been more convenient to obtain the articles
used. and the hOusekeeper takes the re-
sponslbility and possibly will never know
the mischief that has been wrought.
Paterfamlias may have spells of head
ache, the children may have lost their appe-
tites. or look pale; if so. the true cause is
rarely suspected. The weather, the lack of
outdoor air, or some other cause, is given,
and the ullwholesonle, poisonous system of
adulterated food goes Oh. Next to the
flour, which should be made of good,
sound wheat and not ground too fine, the
yeaSHor baking powder, which furnish the
rising properties, is of the greatest i'm
portanee, and of the two we prefer baking
powdSk, and always use the Royal, as we
thereby retain the original properties of
the Wheat, no fermentation taking place.
The Setion of the Royal Baking Powder
uponsgthe dough is simply to swell it and
form little cells through every part These
cells are filed with carbonic acid gas,
which passes off during the process of bak-.
ing.
The Royal is made from pure. grape acid,
and it is'the action of this acid upon highly
carbonized bicarbonate Of soda that gener-
ates the gas alluded to; and these ingredi-
ents ale SO pure and SO perfectly fitted,
tested and adapted to each other, that the
action is mild and permanent, and is con-
tinued during the whole time of baking,
and no residue of poisonous ingredients re-
mains to undermine the health, no heavy
biscuits, no sour bread, but if directions
are followed. every article will be found

Trotting at Faribault.


Stess of weather and pressure of

Mace behind them. The next day, Wednes-
day, was unusually pleasant. and every one
turned out. A track about half mile long
was scraped on the Cannon, inside the city
limits. Everything went off smoothly.
There were five well contested races.

he is still on earth before the fall closes.
The races were tirst-class and showed
that Mortified and Faribault are we'll up

for several days. He came here to look at

to,talk upon his business matters and seemed
to be DESTROYS of not being interviewed upon
the subject. He admires the Queen OF the
Turf just.aS much now as he did when he
had her In charge, and he is of the opinion
that she can trot now just as fast as she ever
could. 1t will require great care, though, in
handling her. In order for her to go she
must be got into good shape, just the right
condition and then handled carefully, letting
her go herself. She can't be forced.

foxes in a wooden case from the country.

after great difficulty three Of the animals
were captured.
The fourth made its way into the street,
but only to be driven back by the large
crowd who had taken up the chase. After
being hunted about the market for upward
of half an hour, the animal was at last
driven into corner, and bull-terrler be-
longing to one of the market statesmen
pOunced upon him and killed him. 1t was
found that the foxes had made their escape
